A favorite food my family enjoys is from our Hungarian background, it is called Toltott Kaposzta. When I was little I used to help my Grandma mix the meat and rice together and then roll it up in cabbage leaves. It would sit in a big pot of tomato sauce for hours. Then we ate it ate our dining room table. This was an important tradition to my Grandma because her Mother-in-Law from Hungary taught her how to make it.
